Holabird & root

Holabird & Root’s 136-year history reflects the evolution of North American architecture. From the firm’s early “Chicago School” skyscrapers, to its most recent award-winning designs, the company has established a reputation for creating carefully planned and beautifully crafted buildings.

As a full-service firm, Holabird & Root is dedicated to integrated solutions. A spirit of cooperation and curiosity is evident in its design studio where project teams of architects, engineers and interior designers sit side-by-side, continually challenging each other to find the right answer for its clients.

The firm takes pride in taking a holistic approach to design, particularly in helping to transform neighbourhoods into vibrant, stable communities. Each project is approached with an eye toward creating a long-term sustainable design through sustainable site planning, safeguarding water and water efficiency, energy efficiency and renewable energy, conservation of materials, indoor environmental quality, and more.
